Good ones do. Reading the code someone is contributing is a powerful signal about how well they're doing.
ICs who manage swarms of agents should operate the same way. They set them off to do something, and then look at the output to see if it's going well.
That's the point I'm making here: managing a team of ICs and managing a swarm of agents has a lot of overlap in the systems and processes you can use to see if it's working well. By teaching ICs to be better managers I think they'd get better at using agentic AI.
